We talk a lot about what AI can automate – but we should also be talking about what AI can help people learn.🎓 One of AI’s most interesting possibilities is its ability to reduce the friction between having a question and gaining the confidence to act on the answer. This concept is drastically changing professional development. Learning becomes less dependent on scheduled courses and formal training, and more integrated into the moments when knowledge is actually needed. For organizations built on expertise, that creates an important opportunity: making knowledge easier to access, encourage curiosity and help more people confidently contribute outside their traditional areas of expertise. AI has changed the way we all work – but its ability to change how we learn could prove just as important.

In sports, the value of content is tied to how quickly you can tell the story. For sports media teams, the end of the game is often when another race begins: turning what just happened into a story while the game is still fresh for fans. PrestoSports, a Jonas Software business, is putting that idea into practice with PrestoAI. Built into its StatView live stats experience, PrestoAI provides AI-powered post-game storytelling designed to help media teams save time and get out of the press box faster. It’s a focused application of AI to a very specific challenge that only those in that vertical software business would understand. This is what makes AI-powered tools in Jonas so valuable, because it’s applied in the context of how people truly work in this industry. For PrestoSports, that means helping media teams move from the game to the story more efficiently. Just another example of AI in practice across Jonas Software.

Meet Tim de Groot 👋 Tim’s career progression story in our Jonas Software ANZ portfolio is a great example of the people, opportunities, and culture that make Jonas what it is. In his interview, Tim shares what attracted him to Shortcuts Software, what he values most as a leader, and why having a great team makes all the difference. A few highlights from our conversation: 💬 “The Jonas ABCs is actually one of the things that drove me to wanting to work in a Jonas business. You get lots of great guidance, input, and feedback from people across the Jonas group, while still having the ability to operate the business unit autonomously.” 💬 “The thing I enjoy the most is helping staff members grow and giving them an opportunity to progress themselves.” 💬 “I can’t do what I do without a really good team. Having that team capable and ready to go and look after our customers is really important.” Tim’s story reflects something we value across Jonas: giving great people the opportunity to grow, lead, and make an impact, while benefiting from the knowledge and experience of a much larger network. 🎥 Watch the video or read Tim’s full career progression story on our website: https://hubs.ly/Q04sPdQW0
